I look at every promo I do as a command performance to do better than I did the previous week if not deliver the best promo of my life.

I always tell Brock Lesnar the truth. I don't appease Brock Lesnar. I don't placate Brock Lesnar. When Brock Lesnar asks me for an opinion, I give to him an honest opinion that I'm willing to back up with facts, with theory.

I don't think anyone realizes how much Bray Wyatt has to offer.

I would probably confess that I was the greatest disappointment of my mother's life, but my father only admired his son's moxie, drive, hustle, and wherewithal to pursue his dreams no matter how I achieve them.

I love what I do. I'm passionate about what I do. I live for what I do. And every morning, I can't wait to stop sleeping and to jump up and get out of bed and start doing what I do.

I can't tell you that it would be bad exposure for me to be associated with someone who has the global Q-rating of Ronda Rousey. She certainly knows how to attract attention and garner tons of publicity, and just to be in on the merchandising of Ronda Rousey, would love for her to be a Paul Heyman girl.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of 'Lucha Underground.'

Here's the funny thing: Nothing drives a performance like an audience that gives back and even takes over. ECW was a product that will be remembered as much, if not more, for its audience interaction as for the things that happened in the ring.

Brock Lesnar is a fascinating human being.

Vince McMahon became a billionaire based on Attitude, and Attitude was spawned by the ECW experience.

Brock Lesnar is the most unique athlete in this history of World Wrestling Entertainment, and I say that with without embellishment or exaggeration.

If you show me someone who's afraid of failure, I'll show you someone who is not a groundbreaking, innovative pioneer of a certain industry.

Where Brock Lesnar would be without Paul Heyman? He would certainly be on top. He would certainly be the number one box office attraction. He would just be doing it without someone who truly understands his persona like I do.

I never looked at ECW as wrestling. I always considered it more of a theology. I don't know whether I had or didn't have a messianic complex during that time. But I bought into the movement as much as, if not more than, anybody else. If I sold anyone on the religion of extreme, I was its number-one customer.

I think Sting would be denying his fans a great moment if Sting did not step into WWE competition at least once. I have always been a huge admirer of what Sting brings to the table and his relationship with his audience, and I would be dramatically disappointed if Sting does not wrestle a WWE match.

My father was an attorney in the state of New York, which is where I came up with the term 'advocate.'

Defeat is a wonderful experience if it motivates you to never forget you're only as good as your last performance.

A little humbling never hurt a great advocate.

I think Brock Lesnar does whatever Brock Lesnar wants to do.

If Brock Lesnar wants to fight in UFC, Brock Lesnar will fight in UFC. If Brock Lesnar wants to fight in WWE, he will fight in WWE.

Brock Lesnar does what Brock Lesnar wants to do.

The problem with these UFC fighters - and they're all fantastic athletes, top of the line in the entire world - is that they wear their bodies down in these training camps. All these guys that are cutting weight are just destroying their own bodies.

Even my enemies would acknowledge that I'm a great judge of talent, and this statement will be proven true time and time again.

Curtis Axel has more talent than his grandfather and his father.

We live in an ever-changing global pop culture community.

I've been around the league for a while. I know the business of the league. Some stuff, like my mom said, you let it roll off your back like water on a duck's back. You keep moving on.

It's second nature. You just get out there and play basketball.

Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.

With a fast pace world and wanting to reach and accomplish goals sometimes we neglect to pause and just enjoy the moment.

My main thing over the years is to try to get on a team and be on a team that wins games.

You know people probably don't realize this but I lived in Denver for 10 years as a kid. I was familiar with the city and what it had to offer. You know like any place it's changed a lot over the years. But that familiarity hit home for me.

I'm a type of player that tries to do everything a lot to help our team. Setting screens to get guys open, trying to block shots.

It feels good to be in a rhythm.

It's good to get out there and get a nice sweat.

You gotta want to get better. You gotta want to take the next step. And I always want to get better, I always want to expand my game, expand my range.

Any time you come out and bust your tail, good things are going to happen.

I feel like a Space Jam' creature.

You just want to give the team energy and get our guys going in any way possible. So I'm just trying to give off as much energy as I can whenever I can.

I'm always going to be a leader and always try and set up a positive example day in and day out, so I can - so the young guys hopefully pick up on it.

Once you are first in the East, one of the top teams in the league, you have a target on your back every night.

I'm not one to look at age and say that I've peaked.

The city of Atlanta has been unbelievable to me.

Atlanta is still going to be my summer place. My family is still going to be there.

Whether we win 60 games or not, you build your habits back and get better that way. It may not be 60 wins, but you get better as a team.

I've learned that my son is obsessed with basketball. He sits down and watches the games with me, and wants to go play all the time.

All great rebounders don't give up on a play. They treat every shot as a miss and they go out there.

I'm never content. I'm always searching, looking for things to better myself.

For whatever reason, 34 is old. Not to me.

I believe your best preparation is to just get your rest and just go out there and continue to do what you've been doing, not to try to do anything uncharacteristic that you haven't been doing. That's my main thing.

Um, you know, I can see myself doing a lot of other things but in my life I've always had one goal throughout my life and that was to play basketball and try to be the best that I can out here at it.
